What happens when you drive from right to left?

When driving on the road, you will always meet some angry drivers, which will easily lead to some road risks. But sometimes I think what is more terrible than road rage is the risk brought by lax traffic rules. As we all know, the road driving mode in Britain is completely different from ours. We drive on the right side, and the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. On the roads in England, the steering wheel is on the right side and also drives on the left. Have you ever thought that if you drive in Australia or England one day, will you not be used to it?

In the 1960s, such a magical thing happened in Sweden. As a relatively rich country in the Nordic countries, Sweden has many brilliant brands, such as Nokia, the former global mobile phone overlord, and IKEA, the world-famous home brand at present. It can be said that Swedes are a group of hardworking people with extraordinary wisdom. But last century1September 3, 967, the Swedish government made an extremely stupid decision. On this day, the Swedish government revised the driving mode of vehicles, changing driving from left to right to right. However, the news at that time was not released as quickly as it is today. Many Swedes don't know that the driving rules have been adjusted, so that when they get on the road, they see the opposite car driving in the same lane. This surprised them and the traffic was blocked and paralyzed for a long time. As the picture shows, we see that not only pedestrians but also car drivers are confused.

Fortunately, Northern Europe is still a relatively slow-paced country with few traffic accidents. As time goes on, people gradually get used to driving on the right. However, at the beginning of this policy, the government did play a very important role. We can also imagine that if one day we drive from the right to the left, then I believe many people will not be used to it. First of all, the direction of the rearview mirror has been adjusted, and the vision of driving and our judgment on the orientation of the whole car will be different from before. But Sweden, a country that dares to make such an attempt, still has to admire his courage.

On the other hand, we can also see that even in the 1960s, there were still many cars on the roads in Switzerland. It can be seen that the Nordic people are indeed in a very rich state, but today, China's car ownership and new car ownership have come to the top in the world. Many international automobile brands and domestic automobile brands have exerted great influence on the China market. For these car manufacturers, the first important thing is to understand China's habit of driving to the right and steering to the left, and not to make jokes, so that the cars produced can't be used on the roads in China. Many years later, I wonder how the older generation in Sweden will feel when they recall what happened after 1967 hit the road in the morning.
